Genomic Contributors to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Results of Exome Sequencing in 560 Probands and Cross Reference of Findings in an Independent Cohort

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a strong genetic contribution to the etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study evaluated genetic testing results and diagnostic yield for fetuses and children with CDH. This was a retrospective cohort study of exome sequencing (ES) performed at GeneDx for fetuses and children ≤ 18 years of age with CDH compared ...

Diagnostic Odyssey of Atypical Long‐Chain 3‐Hydroxyacyl‐CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCHADD) Explained by Three Allelic Products From Two Pathogenic Variants

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐chain 3‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial defect of long‐chain fatty acid β‐oxidation, caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in HADHA or HADHB. We report a 22‐year‐old male with an atypically mild presentation of LCHADD who was referred to the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN ...

Contribution of Maternal Age and Pregnancy Checkbox on Maternal Mortality Ratios in the United States, 1978-2012 [PDF]

Obstetric Anesthesia Digest, 2017
(Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2017;217(3):352.e1–352.e7) The United States has seen a rise in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the past decade, one of only 8 countries to do so. Three possible reasons for this include: an increasing maternal age and therefore increase in higher-risk pregnancies, changes in age-specific MMRs, and the inclusion of

Impact of Rapid Exome Sequencing on Pediatric Patients With Cardiomyopathy and Acute Heart Failure

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Few studies describe the impact of rapid exome sequencing (ES) on pediatric cardiomyopathy in urgent clinical settings. Here, we retrospectively report the impact of rapid singleton ES in pediatric patients presented with acute heart failure and isolated cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, between 2021 and 2023 at a single tertiary care center.
